Writing Guidelines

In general, students are judged on the following criteria:

1. Within Guidelines for Written Presentation (12 point Font, Double Spaced, first line Indented).
2. Grammar and Sentence Structure (Paper has been edited by author and is consistent in tense and person).
3. Clear and Concise sentences (Paper is written for a business audience, business CEOs, and/or potential investors).
4. Content of Paper (Paper covers the essential parts of the topic).
5. Introduction (Clearly states the subject, scope of the paper, and the theme).
6. Body of the Paper (Organized to flow effectively from one paragraph to the next, one subject to the next).
7. Summary of the Paper (Concise but articulate summary that covers the main points of the paper or the main conclusions).
8. When appropriate, Tables, Charts, Graphs, or other visual aids are effectively used in paper.
9. Overall effectiveness of the paper on the subject.
10. Your name(s) and group numbers if applicable, must be part of the file name you hand in like so: JohnSmith-ass1.doc OR oppanalysis-group5.doc.
11. Only *.doc, *.docx. *.pdf. or *.txt (plain text files) are accepted for assignments. Do not simply type in your assignment in the submit window on blackboard.
12. When your assignment is opened, you name and assignment number must be on the page, same if a group assignment.
13. For the weekly written assignments, one page of quality writing is expected as minimum, but you may expound further on your topic for the purposes of clarity and effectiveness of communication.
14. If you have trouble writing please visit the writing clinic: http://cwl.oregonstate.edu/twc.html there is an on-line workshop that off campus students can participate in.
15. To get some example of what good business writing looks like try: http://www.economist.com/business/ or http://online.wsj.com/public/page/news-business-us.html There are many other examples (BusinessWeek is not one of them).
16. The usage of grammar in essays needs to follow standard English writing conventions. I will allow for a wide range of measures, from the MLA to the Chicago Manual of Style, and the variations in between. A simplistic version would be Strunk and White’s “Elements of Style”, but I will not require its usage – only recommend it. There are numerous online .edu sites that will provide grammar guidelines for free, so take a look around.
17. Cite your sources! You may use MLA or APA standards for this, or even the CMS and similar measures. But if you introduce a fact or figure, please cite where it came from! I often check your facts and figures as I read your papers. I will search Yahoo!, Bing and/or Google to seek out the information, as it often interesting and useful. I would prefer to go straight to your source, rather than track down a particular quote or a specific concept.
18. Avoid needless words or jargon unless you introduce and define them, or unless they are a part of the standard jargon and/or word usage for the class textbook, class lecture material, videos, or generally used vocabulary of the business world. I do not mind unusual vocabularies or styles whatsoever; but I do prefer than unusual terms that are not found in common usage be introduced and defined in your essays. In addition, if it is a foundation of your paper, it should be sourced.
19. The page limit has been doubled on standard assignments (the main opportunity project remains the same for now), and the original limit is only a recommended amount. If you can write that concisely, then that is great. However, if you do need to expound upon your points, then you may do so. Strive for clarify and conciseness, however.
20. Professional writing is important. I am not speaking of dressing up your papers, which is entirely optional – even extraneous – but of clear, concise and effective writing that communicates ideas well, and essentially gets the point across in a useful way.

Argument paper

Argument paper

Order Instructions:
there are two options:

Option One – An Argument Scrapbook
For this paper I would like you to collect a spectrum of arguments, from short to long, informal to formal, verbal to visual, and do a brief analysis, evaluation, and response to each. The purpose of this is to give you practice at recognizing, analyzing, and evaluating arguments.

Part 1 – Please collect 5-6 arguments, choosing from the following (choose at least 5 different kinds):
• Required: a short written argument (letter to the editor, review in Amazon, etc)
• Required: a longer written argument (a 1-2 page newspaper column or a published editorial)
• a verbal argument presented by a friend, family member, clergy, boss, customer, etc
• a visual argument (ad, billboard, bumper sticker, etc)
• a movie, restaurant, book, technology, or other review from a magazine or newspaper or web site
• an argument from a political, religious, technology, or other cultural blog
• an argument presented by a character in a novel or movie

Please copy or describe the argument so that I get a clear picture of it.
Please find 2-3 arguments you find credible, fair, and persuasive, and 2-3 you don’t.

Part 2 – For each, do a concise but complete analysis –
1. Its claim and support (both sub-claims and specific support), and any warrants you can find.
2. The intended audience – who is the author addressing?
3. Does it rely on logos, ethos, pathos, or a combination of them to support its claim? Explain/illustrate (be sure to support your analysis by referring to quotes or details).

Part 3 – For each one, provide a brief evaluation – is it effective or not, considering the intended audience? Fair or not? Does it really support its claim, or merely state an opinion or imply some kind of support? I anticipate your answers to steps 2 & 3 will be about 3/4 page or so total for each argument.

Part 4 – Please write a page or two in which you discuss what you learned in the process of analyzing and evaluating your arguments, and what criteria were most important for you in deciding whether an argument was persuasive/effective or not.

Part 5 – Assemble your “scrapbook” with the Part 4 reflection as your Introduction, and then your analyses as the “body.” Please title each analysis with the name or title of the argument/ad/bumper sticker etc. Note – you may have to invent a title for each. Please start each analysis on a new page (you can insert a page break using your word processor).
Option Two – Analysis and Evaluation of 2 Arguments about a Single Issue
Pick an issue that you are undecided about, but that interests you. Find two substantial and credible essays (1000 words minimum) that take opposing or at least different points of view on it, and then analyze their arguments. Credible = published in a high quality magazine or newspaper (not an amateurish blog or a student essay), and with a named author (not anonymous or “joebigideas556” etc)

Then follow steps 2-5 above, but go into considerably more depth since your arguments are considerably longer.

Possible sources: the essays in the back of our text or a pair of articles from an Opposing Viewpoints collection of essays. Click on the link and then on “Opposing Viewpoints” at the bottom of the page. The CQ Researcher database just above it can also provide interesting background and “Pro/Con” arguments, although they’re often less than 1000 words. In the Opposing Viewpoints database you’ll find a list of topics as well as a “Search” function. The nice thing about the OV collection is that it gives you just what you need for this assignment – pairs of arguments that take opposing viewpoints on a specific issue. Note: make sure you find articles that meet the length requirement of 1000 words each.

Questions you can answer to give structure to your paper:
• Why is the issue interesting to you? Why is it worthwhile or important?
• What were the two essays you found, and their claims? Who is the intended audience?
• How did they support their claims? Logos? Ethos? Pathos? A combination? Be sure to provide quotes and examples from the examples to develop your analysis.
• What is your evaluation of the credibility and persuasiveness of each one? What worked about each one, and what didn’t, taking the intended audience into account? You can think about factuality, logic, use of evidence, appeals to authority or values, appeals to emotions/drives or desires. You can refer to logical fallacies and illegitimate arguments that we’ve discussed in class. This should probably be the major section of the paper. Again, quotes and examples will help.
• What is your position on the issue after doing this reading and analysis?
• What did you learn about yourself and the dynamics of persuasion from doing this?

Please use the MLA or APA documentation guidelines to cite quotes, paraphrased material, and any facts you use. Suggested length: 4-5 pages (1200 – 1500 words)

There must be 6 factors in this paper:
claim, support, warrant, backing, qualifiers, rebuttal
Please try to write as a student level.

Bridesmaids the film analysis

Bridesmaids the film analysis

Order Instructions:
The 2011 release of Bridesmaids was widely reviewed in the press as a “surprise” success. In this assignment you will review the film by accessing what cultural and industry factors and expectations determined that “surprise.” As part of your review, you will analyze three professional reviews of the film.
Instructions for this assignment:

• Watch feature film Bridesmaids (available on Netflix).
• Research, on-line, three reviews of the film by known on-line publications or on-line sections of established newspapers and/or magazines. A review can also be an interview with members of the cast and/or crew.
The purpose of this assignment is to:

1) Create an argument-based analysis of three reviews of the film that speculate as to the film’s “surprise” success.

2) Provide an interpretive analysis of the film itself with regards to its press coverage; as you analyze your three reviews of the film, use examples from the film itself to make your point.

3) Construct a critical analysis of the other reviewers’ interpretation of the film—whether you agree or disagree with their perspective—to then use examples of the film as evidence to support your argument.

Things to consider in your analysis:

• What cultural and industry factors and/or expectations are reviewers citing as part of the film’s box office success?

• If you use an interview with one of the film’s principle cast or crew members, how do they describe the movie’s brand of humor, approach to comedy, approach to genre?

• How do reviewers describe the film’s “female” qualities: female performers, writers, humor, target audience, narrative themes?

At all times, avoid plot summary and instead focus on plot analysis; avoid only restating what a reviewer has already said and instead focus on your analysis of what the reviewer has said.

You are to select three (3) of the following eight questions to prepare your responses. Each question is worth 40 points.
1. Describe the four principles that are considered useful for creating an effective feedback system. (Clampitt text)
2. The Clampitt text outlines the challenges associated with organizational boundaries as well as the contributing factors that highlight the inherent problems with organizational boundaries. Describe the problems and contributing factors of organizational boundaries and complete your response by identifying one boundary spanning strategy.
3. Summarize the cycle of communication effectiveness.

4. Discuss the full range of cultivating the innovative spirit.
Cohen and Eimicke Textbook
5. Many, if not most of the dedicated public service employees contend that we could utilize certain innovative techniques designed to impact the efficiency and effectiveness of public sector organizations. You are challenged to identify and discuss one innovation strategy described in the Power Points from the Cohen and Eimicke book. Also, if feasible, briefly identify how this innovation strategy could be applied within your organization.
6. One statement in the Cohen text titled “Mastering the Budgetary process, resonated with me. It states, ” Although lack of funding can prevent activities, the presence of funding is never a guarantee that activities will take place”. Oftentimes, public managers must rely on budget analysts and other budget professionals in the preparation of budgets. However, it is important for all public managers to have an understanding and reasonable knowledge about the budgetary process. Please write a response to the following questions:
1. How does a manager handle justifying budgetary requests?
2. What are the political factors that influence the budget process?
3. How does financial control systems impact and/or alter organizational behavior?
7. Just as private organizations continue to transform and undergo change, so are many public sector organizations. You are to write an essay about “surviving and thriving in the public service”. Please draw upon the various reading assignments when developing your response. Identify your source of information. You do not have to use formal citations, just the name of the author or a note that the source information was from a specific course Module.
8. The development of organizational goals and strategies is considered an important aspect of creating a more viable organization. Consequently, define organizational strategy. Also, what is involved in communicating the organizational strategy once it is formulated. Finally, does ethics play a role in organizational strategy?
